Andy Lee will be the latest former Panther to play in the Super Bowl when his
San Francisco 49ers face the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday. E.J. Borghetti
reflects on the impressive NFL career Lee has enjoyed since his Pitt days.

Discussions on Pitt's premier performers in the National Football
League typically focus on receiver Larry
Fitzgerald and cornerback Darrelle
Revis.

That's understandable. Fitzgerald, who played in his seventh Pro
Bowl this past weekend, is widely considered the game's elite pass catcher.
(Please, Arizona, find No. 11 a quarterback this year!)

Revis, when healthy, can stake a claim to being the best defensive
player in the NFL. He defines the term shutdown corner and will also smack you
in the chops on run support.

In short, both men will add to Pitt's Hall-of-Famer wing in Canton
someday.

But in the bright spotlight of Super Bowl week, another former
Panther should get his due as one of the NFL's very best - San Francisco punter
Andy Lee.
